Universal Enhancement



Train the Trainer



This intensive two-day workshop is designed for staff that are highly motivated in training others in the principles and practices of Universal Enhancement. All participants for this session are required to have attended Universal Enhancement: Overcoming Life's Obstacles. Additionally, completion of Universal Enhancement: Raising the Bar, is highly recommended. Participants are instructed on a variety of methods and approaches to facilitate the use of Universal Enhancement tools. The session enables the participant to utilize tales and maxims to inspire and motivate staff. The historical models of service delivery to people with intellectual disabilities are reviewed. The positive contributions as well as the aberrant consequences of each of the service models are assessed in terms of their impact upon current practices. This session is highly interactive, requiring the participants to share their interpretation of the hundreds of Universal Enhancement slides.

I think you would be pleased to know that your name has become a standard term here. I frequently hear “According to Tom Pomeranz, we should…” Or “How would Tom Pomeranz handle this?” You have given us much to think about and a positive direction as we live each day. Thank you Tom! Exceptional Persons, Waterloo, IA


The training that you have provided to all of us has allowed us to see a greater potential impact on the lives of those people we support. We now have much more to invest in our effort. Connections, ResCare Kansas
